Why has gold become more expensive today?
Fears of tension in the Middle East due to the conflict between Iran and the US were already present. Compounding this, the US Senate has passed the Russian Sanctions Bill by a majority vote. This bill includes provisions to impose heavy tariffs—up to 100%—on countries that purchase oil and gas from Russia; the list includes nations such as China and India. This has reignited concerns about a potential trade war with the US. Driven by these fears, investors have resumed heavy buying of gold as a safe-haven asset.
